Shadow

A sentence would do: Don’t watch it. But we would give you a glimpse of the painful experience of watching it – reason being, someone uttered in the theatre during the interval, ‘please give your tickets to your enemies, they would be dead’! The movie claims to make history in the world of cinema – for a blind man acting and dancing in it. With due respect to those who can’t see, this movie can’t prove anyone’s talent, forget history… Because we are here to appreciate acting, not sympathise. And the answer to its tagline, ‘Shadow: The dark side of truth’ is forget the truth, it’s just dark.

The philosophy of the movie follows Amitabh Bachchan starrer Aankhen, with a twist to it.  Serial killer Arjun Sherawat (Naseer Khan) has no identity and police is going crazy behind him. Sanjana (Sonali Kulkarni) is a smart cop and is given the responsibility of finding Arjun. Sanjana tries her best to catch him for 6 months in which she fails. Sheetal (Harshitaa Bhatt) and Rahul (Milind Soman) are passionate journalists with two different media houses. There’s a scope for one sided love in the film, that’s Sheetal’s love for Rahul but Rahul is in love with his profession only. There is a police-criminal encounter, a lot of obvious dramas and so on… The mystery continues amidst lot of confusion.

Naseer tried to do a SRK in Don with his dialogues like “Namumkin ko mumkin banane ke liye hi log Arjun Sherawat ko Muh mangi kimat dete hai”. Milind Soman’s natural wrinkles did justice to him as a workaholic journo, but Harshitaa? If the character needed so much of mindlessness, Bollywood is not in dearth of it – at least give some beauty if not acting. And Sonali Kulkarni, the horror is back with some extra pounds. Naah, it’s not being meany – she needs to spare everyone the horror and herself those flabs.

Music was quite Anand Raaj style. Choreographer Ganesh Acharya surviving the team Shadow in itself is commendable. Director Rohit Nayyar makes a blind man play a gunman, on a serious note it shows his great spirit. But whether to watch the movie or not? Go for it, if you’re ‘absolutely’ jobless that you would kill yourself anyway!

i feel its a very boring movie i left in between so viewrs enter ur own risk

I heard all songs of Shadow. It is really great. I can say music of Shadow is not blind like its character. You can read here full – music review of Shadow

"Let's play shadow music today. My friend said to me, “Let’s play shadow movie music today. So, I am listening to music of this movie on my PC by online. There is great advertisement of Shadow movie on each TV channel but still we have not heard its music and songs. So, I decided to hear its music online. I downloaded Shadow Hindi movie music today.

Music director of Shadow is Anand Raj Anand. Lyrics of Shadow have been given by a team - Satyaprakash, Anand Raj Anand and Anjan Saagri. Just now, I am listening 1st song of Shadow – “Yaariyan” which is sung by Anand Raj Anand.

“Yaariyan” song starts on the rock Punjabi rap. The music is similar to Diler Mehndi song. There is great English rap music in this song also. The rocking song is not similar to movie theme. The song is full of rocking music and rocking rap. Tone comes from Punjabi but rap music comes from modern singing tones. Music of the song covers party fun.

“Masti” is second song of Shadow music which is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. It also begins with rap music. Music of the song is very fast. Music of the song creates a situation of “Masti”. English rap is effective in this song. Music creates a fast situation of bar dance. “The song begins with – “Sham Ki Ranginya… Ranginya… Ranginya… Jam Ki Saukiniya… Saukiniya… Saukiniya…Ki Ji Le Masti… Masti… Masti…”

“Shadow” is third song of this movie which is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. The song is based on the Shadow movie. “Wo Chala Gaya Wo Pal Aayega Nahi Kal… Wo Ek Pal Ek Saya Hai…” The song is all about on the music of situation of the movie. It is basically situational music which tells about the Shadow.

“Khumariyan” is the best song of Shadow which is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. The song begins in vocal voice – “Khumariyan… Khumariyan… Isk Ki Ye Khumariyan… Isk Ki Ye Khumariyan… Isk Ki Ye Khumariyan…” It has great music which is in background of the song. Personally, I like the song due to great music and soft tone.

“Rabba Rabba” is just like sufi song which is sung by Roop Kumar Rathod. “Rabbaaaaaaa… Rabba Rabba…. Rabba Rabba…. Rabba Rabba Mere Rabba…” Music ups and downs with solid soft tones are really great. The song has slow paced music which runs in the background of the song..."
